I think OEM looks 100x's better. Very clean, but not too sure on those. I dont really like the EVO one too much. Doesnt really flow with the car unless you have a big ol bodykit on it, ya know.

People will argue either Seibon or VIS, i have really heard lately that Seibon is sooo much better then VIS with fitment and quality/stitching.

I had that carbon creations hood it was the worst looking worst fitment hood i have ever seen.It had the metal latch but you could watch it flappin in the wind as you drove.It also had dimples in the carbon.I sold it and ordered a seibon oem hood the finish on the seibon is excellent but i can't say anything about fitment because one corner was busted during shipping.If I ever get my insurance money from fedex I will buy another seibon.
